As some one who does not own a pc and started playing on PlayStation this is super weird
I would like to say I hit subscribed, but that would be a lie because I was already subscribed! 🙂 Great guide.
For the algorithm!
You may have Said it and I was not paying attention, but what chat pad are you using? I haven't been able to definitively figure out which one is the best for PC with the elite Controller so I haven't bought one.
appreciate your content!
Legacy movement with controller is amazing for avoiding things while casting actions. My biggest gripe is that legacy movement has the camera auto move behind you and there is no option to disable that. Funnily enough, standtard movement does have that option… why SE!?!?! WHY!?!?
Rule of thumb for all classes on controller:
Long cooldowns I set to double taps, always. Buttons I’ll use consistently (main combos or rotations) I set to Right triggers much as possible. Lesser used buttons I’ll set to L Trigger.
I’ll never set abilities to R1 toggle as I think it feels VERY clunky switching back and forth during fights.
TLDR: Get used to the W Cross Hotbar ASAP. Set long timers to doubles tabs. PROFIT
With how much moving I tend to do while in a fight, I've been thinking about trying controller. My reasoning is that maybe it will help my melee jobs avoid "bad" better without such a hit to my DPS. My MCH is rocking, but my DRG needs a change. I have a DS4 and a XBOne pad. I feel that the Xbox pad would be better because the sticks are farther apart. Don't have a chat pad though.
I like this and i approved! 👍 I have a question about the xbox 1 controller, because that's what I'm using and ofcourse I have the WXHB box always on display and I double tap and hold to use those abilities on the top row and as a person who struggles with Rheumatoid i wish i can just have 1 button to toggle to my WXHB without double clicking the Right and left triggers and to just to have it toggled so i dont have to hold it and i notice we havd 2 more buttons behind the xbox 1 controller the AGL and the AGR, is their a way i can set that to a specific bar like example just to hit it once and it will toggle my WXHB bar 2?
This is perfect! As someone who doesn't play on controller but gets asked a lot of questions, anything related to controllers I can send them to this video! 😀
Thanks for the video! I started using the controller after watching your stuff and so far I enjoy it! I have been thinking about trying a PS controller mostly because it's what I grew up with. If I do decide to try a PS controller on PC, would that need a program or does it the game detect it on its own? Sorry if you said and I missed it
I swear this is fate. I told myself I was going to commit to setting up my controller and get into FF14 today and you release this video. Thank you so much! Love all of your guides. Do you have any suggestions to look up macros or maybe a video you could pump out soon? Thanks as always!
Best controller guides in the community.
Will recommend, keep up the great work.
Tyty GP….Quick question to you or anyone. Now I'm 90 summoner and see gear don't have spell speed. What latest stat priority…
Been waiting for the updated controller guide. Been kb/m forever. Tried it before and was able to make it work for gathering professions. Had difficulty with combat jobs, not sure why and gave up. Plan to give it a try now. It's a good time. Ty for making these video's I know u put a lot of work on them and take your time before releasing the controller guides.
Any idea when we can expect controller guides for reaper, sange, and summoner?
Your controller guides are amazing. Thank you so much for making smn and war in particular a lot more intuitive due to the layouts. If I may ask are you going to update with the new abilities? If not il work them in, it's all good.
I really hope they add proper support for the Series X controller at some point. Had the A button on my XB1 get damaged, and the Series X controllers were the same price so I bought one of those instead. Had to use it wired for months and months because while connected via bluetooth, the keybinds are all wrong, but it works fine while connected using a USB C cable.
Eventually the charging port on the controller got damaged from constantly being moved around while plugged in. It started disconnecting if I moved it, and I had to unplug then plug it back in for it to reconnect properly.
Had it happen back to back to back one day and got so fed up I went back to the XB1 controller because a janky A button was less infuriating than it being disconnected because I moved my hands like 1°
Come on SE, Series X has been out for more than a year, why does it still not work properly?!
As a 7 years controller user who can hit insert and play GNB without any interface, I approve this guide.
I started on a PS3 and have continued using a controller.
I wish there was an option to tap l2/r2 to have your XHB active and then hold it to go to the WXHB. That'd be my most wanted feature
I see you made a guide for samurai a year ago. its a bit outdated. in my opinion the class now more skills available then using two sets of chotbars, can you make a short updated guide for samurai skills on controller?
It's funny how this game proves MMO's can work extremely well with controller. It's to the point where it's harder for me to play with keyboard and mouse
I knew you had done controllers guide before at W2G but I did not know you had a controller guide video so fresh. Feeling silly I asked you live about it, but thankful you did.
This guide is excellent as I was struggling to adapt to using a controller. Thank you 🙂

Loving the guides Ginger Prime but i was just wondering something , how do you quickly mount?
One of the things I find kind of wonky is that you can't really set it up however you want. For example, why can't I move autorun to L3 and put WXHB left on L1, move map to R3, change hotbar to square, then put WXHB right on R1? Things would flow so much easier instead of reserving WXHB for stuff you don't use too often.
I'd love an Elite series 2 video for FF14
Is there a way to control how many hotbars R1 cycles through?
Anybody else having an issue with target filters? My chocobo is being recognized as an npc/object instead of a party member.
I have the game on PC and I want to try playing on PS4 with controller. Is there a way to get a free trial on PS without linking it to my PSN? Coz I want to use my PSN to link to my PC account when I do decide to buy the game.
How have I not been sub'ed to GingerPrime?! I have remedied that situation.
Subscribed my guy thank you!
i just gotta say…. you're controller guides have been such a big help over the last X amount of years. Looking back my controller setup has really grown in to my own and it's extremely comfortable.
Love these guides, very helpful when setting up a controller. The supporting docs (list of macros and bindings) are amazing as well. One suggestion for those of us not in the level 90 club: would it be possible to provide an additional list of traits/actions in ascending order by level? Right now, as I gain additional spells, I have to search through the entire macro list to find it. This would be easier if there was a list by level. Thanks for all your hard work!
